I was actually at Sofi for the Super Bowl which I still find hard to believe.
What I think will always stick with me was how quickly I went from despair/shock to jubilation. It all seemed to happen so quickly.
On the last drive the Bengals got to midfield immediately and they had a 2nd and 1. At that point I was thinking that OT was likely. But after the throwaway on second down and the great stop by Donald on third down it was suddenly fourth and less than a yard.
When the Bengals lined up for the fourth down play I was shocked that they were in shotgun with the running back spread far. I just couldn’t believe they were telling the Rams that they were going to pass the ball. By the time I could process it, Donald made the play and we were about to be Super Bowl Champs. It was like a blur. Almost couldn’t believe it at first.

znModeratorJoseph-Day may be under-rated. Or he may be another player who benefited from the Aaron-Donald-Effect. (ADE) w v
I think he was good in his own right. Plus, there’s the AD effect. Plus, there’s the fact that Henderson is a good coach. This year for example Robinson really did stand out–he really did take his game to another level.
znModeratorSebastian Joseph-Day is maybe the most underrated player in the league IMO. Someone's gonna get a great & ascending player. https://t.co/B2oCsLfak1

While it was tough sledding for the Rams runners, Akers had an instant impact against Arizona with 95 total yards, and plenty of yards called back due to penalties pic.twitter.com/Javz9TjFwO

znModeratorThis one doesn’t want to say “approved.” I can fix that just by attaching a response.
znModeratorthat’s how singular donald has been these past eight years. it’s been a pleasure to watch.
And to top it all off, he gets into an NFC title game and then a superbowl, and in both cases, he makes the game clinching play on 4th down. Twice. In two games. Plus of course in the superbowl he made the 3rd and 1 play that set up the game clinching play, by literally pulling the runner back to prevent him from getting the 1st down.
We all know he is great, but…2 game clinching plays on 4th down to seal the win in both a title game then a superbowl?
If I wrote that as a script before the season, everyone would have said nice…but, your wish fulfillment scenario at the end there is a little far-fetched.
znModeratorI like how Colin thinks.
For some reason, for a long time, I was dismissive of him. I don’t know why. But he grew on me. Not just because he started loving the Rams. I would listen to his reasoning and he was always adding something to discussions.
znModeratorEntire offensive game plans are constructed with Aaron Donald in mind.
A famous quotation about that, though I am paraphrasing and won’t get it exactly right. Either way it’s this:
Some players change the game on Sunday. Aaron Donald changes the game on Monday.
znModeratorznModeratorznModeratorPlus: I think a lot of Steelers were elevated (rep-wise) because of those Super Bowl wins. Aside from Greene and Lambert, perhaps, I think the rest of their HOF guys are overrated.
Have to disagree! Ham and Blount were genuinely great players, up there with Greene and Lambert. Blount even survived the transition from the pre-rules changes secondary play that made them mostly assassins, to the new-rules secondary that transformed them into coverage backs. He thrived in the later world just as much as he did in the previous world.
znModeratorfrom Top 10 NFL Receivers With the Best Hands: https://www.thetoptens.com/football/nfl-receivers-best-hands/
#2
Odell Beckham Jr.Odell Beckham Jr. is a NFL wide receiver, playing for the Los Angeles Rams. He is most-known for making an incredible one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys. Beckham was drafted 12th overall to the New York Giants.
<p id=”c8387860″ data-thumbs=”0″>He has literally the best hands ever, when me and my dad are watching the Giants play whenever OBJ makes a wicked catch I always say to him, ” OBJ is the only player who would complete that catch! ” And you all have to admit, sometimes all of you guys think that too. And I know sometimes he’s a little weird without this player the Ny Giants starting a new season without him they’d be 0-16 and have a worse team then the Browns, and I don’t get why he’s not in front of Marvin Harrison, he’s wayy better!</p>
<p id=”c5590522″ data-thumbs=”-1″>He should be at least 4 but really should be top 3 because he has best hands in the NFL right now. His hands are way better than Calvin, Larry, and Randy Moss. Whoever made this list doesn’t know anything.</p>
<p id=”c5304898″ data-thumbs=”-1″>No one make the catches this guy can make…and he makes it look easy!</p>znModeratorDonald is one of the best defensive player I’ve ever seen and I go back to Mean Joe Greene, Alan Page, and Randy White.One of the best? With all due respect to Mean Joe Greene, Alan Page, Randy White, et. al… they aren’t in the same class as Aaron Donald. I watched all those guys too, and none of them were as dominant as AD. I get the reluctance to proclaim a player ‘the best ever’, and the desire to be respectful of the great ones of the past, but c’mon… It’s like saying Alaska is one of the biggest states in the US, cheetahs are one of the fastest cats, Zooey is one of the most annoying posters… At this point, saying he’s only *one* of the best despite the statistical and videographic evidence to the contrary is actually disrespectful to AD. But hey, if you want to risk adding another chip to those hyper-muscled shoulders, so be it. I’m sure the Rams wouldn’t mind the additional Super Bowl titles.
I get what you’re saying. But to me a lot of it is era-dependent. The game changed and DTs in the 60s and 70s were different animals. Merlin Olsen for example fit his era perfectly. I think in the 60s or 70s Donald would have been a linebacker.
Though I think one guy who would translate from the past to the present is Alan Page.
Which takes nothing away from him, obviously. All the players who know the game and praise Donald say he is a unique blend of quickness and strength. Plus a lot of what he is comes from harnessing his skills and working endlessly on his game. Even the most dedicated players in the 60s and 70s did not work on their games at that level and to that extent. In fact they couldn’t even if they wanted to.

I dunno. You would think that any contamination that would threaten Europe would threaten Russia as well. And the Black Sea. Or maybe they really are that crazy.

znModeratorRandy FloodI was asked, who is better? Bruce Smith or Aaron Donald? Smith was a worthy HoFer, Donald is in the discussion for best defensive player ever. Give me the undersized tackle over the second best defensive end from that era.Smith was a two time DPOY and an All Pro 10 times (8 first team, two second teams). The 8 first teams are simply ridiculous accomplishments and mark Smith as one of the best defensive players ever.However, Donald has three DPOYs and has been a first team All Pro six of his seven years in the league (He was DROY the year he wasn’t an All Pro). He’ll probably add a few more All Pros and maybe a couple DPOYS before he’s done.He also plays DT which is not as stat driven as DE but still has a 20+ sack season.Donald is one of the best defensive player I’ve ever seen and I go back to Mean Joe Greene, Alan Page, and Randy White.znModeratorGod, and Aaron Donald, and Von Miller blessed him.
All true, all true. He is a great coach though. The first time Donald ever met with him, Henderson went over tape showing AD technique flaws he wanted him to correct.
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue Sean McVay confirms that Thomas Brown will move to coach tight ends this season, and will continue his role as asst. head coach. Brown had HC, OC interviews this offseason. Brown will also hire a new RBs coach.
One of the major changes happening internally for L.A. will be on the offensive side of the ball, where running backs coach Thomas Brown is being promoted, and given “more responsibility within the offense and team“. As a result, the Rams have reportedly begun to search for a replacement for Brown, and are expected to interview TCU running backs coach, run-game coordinator and assistant head coach, Ra’Shaad Samples.
You know what it looks like to me. Brown is being positioned to ascend to coordinator. Either with the Rams eventually (given how often their coordinators get hired away), or maybe he gets hired somewhere else before being promoted with the Rams. And of course being positioned to be a coordinator means being positioned to eventually become a head coach.
March 4, 2022 at 8:26 pm in reply to: Rams internal FAs & contract issues (updated w/ big article] #137237znModeratorWhat does it mean that OBJ “did not have an ACL” ?
It is completely unclear what that means.
from https://ramblinfan.com/2022/02/23/la-rams-odell-beckham-jr-surgery-a-success/
OBJ suffered an ACL injury before halftime of Super Bowl LVI. Due to the timing of the injury, he may not be ready to play football until December 2022 at the earliest. The good news is that his surgery went well. And on top of that, he is the proud father of a newborn, Zydn.
